This is an interesting subject for me because I've been trying to figure out a pattern with my horses. I have 11 Fjords right now - one is a fuzzy weanling colt so we won't count him. Of the other 10, I am riding 5 regularly and one occasionally. 3 of the ones being ridden regularly are smooth, slick, and shiny, and the other two are fuzzy/furry. The occasionally ridden one is fuzzy. The other 4 (yearlings) are all outside 24 hours (with shelter) and one is fuzzy, the other 3 smooth. Two of the horses in work are kept in the barn at night - one is smooth and one is fuzzy. The other three are kept outside all the time, with a big run-in. Two are smooth and one is fuzzy. So I have 6 smooth and 4 fuzzy, with no pattern as to stabling or work. The fuzzy ones all seemed to get that way about 10 days ago. We are in Southern Ontario and the weather is still hot and humid so I feel sorry for those ones with winter coats already. Lori
